FIFIELD - In DePere, Wis., September 17th, 1873, of cholera infantum, Lucy J., daughter of Albert S. and Jennie Fifield (formerly of Camden), aged 11 months and 16 days.
These sorrowing and afflicted parents have many relatives and friends in Camden, who mourn with them their first born. How lonely the home when the sunshine is gone, yet there are some bright rays that shine in the hearts and home of these young friends of ours, the words of Him who is the light of every Christian home are whispered to their souls saying, "Of such is the kingdom of Heaven."
God wanted the little one to be an angel. She was but a little bud growing in the family garden. God took her to be perfected in the garden above. Perchance had she lived, she would have been a withered flower, faded by disease or blighted by the winds of poisonous influences, but now will she be on of the fruits that grow upon the Tree of Life.
Dear, afflicted friends, your little Lucy is in the bright city of God. She is there as a light in the window for thee. May God comfort you and bring you where your little one has gone.
"Put away her little dresses
That the darling used to wear,
She will need them on earth never
She has climbed the golden stair;
She is with the happy angels.
Her little cheek they love to kiss;
And her little feet are waiting
In the realms of perfect bliss."
Camden, N.Y., Sept. 23, '73 H.M.D.
